Largest Hot Spring in America
Of all the stunning sights that Yellowstone has to offer, by far and away (IMHO) the most amazing and awe-inspiring is this 3rd largest hot spring in the world.
"The Grand Prismatic Spring really is rainbow colored, following the spectrum of white light through a prism (red to blue). The spring was first officially described, and named, by the Hayden Expedition in 1871, which was the first federally-funded exploration of what became Yellowstone. The expedition's leader, Ferdinand Hayden, wrote:
"Nothing ever conceived by human art could equal the peculiar vividness and delicacy of color of these remarkable prismatic springs. Life becomes a privilege and a blessing after one has seen and thoroughly felt these incomparable types of nature's cunning skill."
This is the view from the new mandatory viewing platform taken at sunset.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
